Slaves in Nova Scotia By:Sandy & Amelia

The Indenture System The indenture system is a kind of contract that people of white and black are forced into signing.Sometimes masters would trick people, who could not read by promising a short term contract, as a servant but instead of promsing a short trem as a servant the masters Would have written a much longer contract for 39 years or more. The so called servant were supposed to get a payment such as land or money, but somehow the owners would find a way of releasing the so called servants, before the time was up, so the owners will not have to pay the  payment of land of money. Some slaves were made to sign a contract that would allow their masters to beat them and force them into doing things.

Living Conditions of Indentured People The living conditions are the same as the slaves way of living. You either worked in the masters house or a plantation.
